#NBCNews #Idaho #Police
Great job detectives for bringing him in “ALIVE!!!!” 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. Thank god you’re a peasant with no say.
How is the suspect him dead gonna help the victims in Idaho? At least they found who killed those people now.
Defund the police now!!!!!! BLM!!!!
Every innocent person who was accused of these murders deserves justice, too.
@Chellz M accused by whom?
@hsmd yes people were definitely accused. Some were harassed in person and on social media. I’ve been following this from the beginning.
@hsmd no…arresting does not mean, to accuse. Accuse means to claim someone did something and MANY people did that to most friends and exes of the victims. These people’s reputations are ruined even though they caught someone, no one even knew about. There’s people who will still believe what they want and think police got it wrong.
@Red Barchetta because his reputation is ruined.
@Kelly Welsch accused by whom?
I absolutely cannot wait to watch this dudes interrogation.
JCS is gonna break YouTube.
If you’re willing to wait like 5 years for it.
@jed52 a PRA or FOIA request will have this video by the end of 2023. Lol
The Experts were saying somethig about the possibilty of an incell being involved is he what an incell looks like ?
Those people on tiktok and twitter and reddit owe every innocent person in this case an apology.
@Dan Moore there is a line between speculation and random accusation of innocent people without actual evidence 🫢
@Dan Moore In private. When they do it publicly, people can get hurt.
some people are going to get sued for likes lol
@Daniela Laked It’s mainly women and soy men who watch Law & Order. You are clearly a Biden voter. You have no credibility and should not be criticizing others.
@Zoe I don’t like anything about you, but I still respect you as a person.
So now will people stop attacking LE and acknowledge that they were doing their job the whole time!?!
No liberals will.
@Joe Vargathey were awful to listen to the last month
Come on, this is the age of anonymous SM slander, get use to it, things are only getting started!
@Joe Varga Joe, the Philadelphia FBI field office were the ones who got his location. That “awful” place, according to online trolls, run by liberals and Democrats.
@ch hansen you ain’t lying!
Vampire attack
Wrong guy.
If he already confessed, I’ll pay for the bullet if you’ll use it
Glad they got him, and glad all the childish selfish people online complaining that the police and FBI weren’t releasing information and assuming they were doing nothing got egg on their face.
Exactly. Some of those folks were acting as if it was their God given right to be privy to every detail of the case and piece of evidence. People like that have seen too much TV and fail to grasp the concept of maintaining the integrity of the investigation. Doing otherwise would jeopardize any future prosecution.
Good work. I’m not anti-blue but realize some are underpaid, overworked, under stress and some are poorly trained or terrible at the job. Like anything, good work & workers and the converse. Bravo to all the hard working law enforcement heroes! Great work!
I’m so greatful that you have the person.
Such a waste of lives. So so so sad.
I’m so sorry for their family and friends, teachers and students.
My prayer’s 🙏 and condolences.
@Joe Varga the traumatic event or events that obviously affected you during childhood should be addressed by a professional or you may never recover.
You probably won’t but I will try anyway to suggest you give faith a chance. It is as absolutely free. You having nothing to lose. Why wouldn’t someone take that opportunity?
@Sum Yung Guy Fool, I never claimed that you posted prayers to the victims. I wasn’t even talking to you. NOBODY was. You just stuck your chest out like a big dog trying to be a hero and got kicked in the nuts. Cry.
@Joe Varga how long will you go on lying to yourself? You proved zero. Not one statement that proves God does not exist. Plus, you are in a downward spiral of denial. You prove nothing, but tell yourself you have. You continue to cast the same insults, though they do nothing. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing again and again despite failing. Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you like what you see.
@Joe Varga What do you mean by proof?
@Jeff bezos What are you talking about?
Thanks for law enforcement who work tirelessly and captured heartless suspect.
19,000 tips,,,,,,,I’m guessing bunch of wackos should be spoken to again.
The spread on this arrest was incredible I took plus 57 at 1.99. Great hit.thanks FBI.
This is awful
Good Job guys, I knew you would get the SOB.
Matthew 24:4- And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you.
Matthew 24:5- “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.
Matthew 24:6- “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
Matthew 24:7- “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
Matthew 24:8- “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
Matthew 24:12- “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.
Matthew 24:14- “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
This dude lived near my old house
Amazing work and hats off to all involved in tracking and arrest of this…..person (shudder). Thank goodness🕯️
Incredible. I’m so very glad the authorities were able to get this dangerous individual off of the streets.
He hasn’t been found guilty by a jury of his peers. You don’t know that he is a “dangerous individual”.
Well, guns must be held by the right people, yes, the right people can change to become the wrong people.
What do guns have to do with 4 stabbings?
I can imagine how much relief those officers are feeling. Well done although it is a new beginning.
Those officers did nothing the FEDS did it .
Cold burger? Huh! Looks more like a Dead Turkey today…
Om mani padme hum
This man is holding back such incredible emotion and feelings of gratitude relieve he’s filled with emotions. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Who cares that’s Life things happen
I hope they got the right guy and if he is the murder, get him with full extend of the law!!!!
RIP and prayers to all their family members… ❤
Idaho is a death penalty state. Although they had to cancel a recent death because they can’t get the drugs for the lethal injection. How absurd is that? Load him up with a lethal dose of Fentanyl, that stuff is everywhere
Hes the right guy, they have DNA from the crime scene in blood, and blood will be found in the car regardless of how dude cleaned it. The person who did this WAS 100% COMPLETELY COVERED IN BLOOD, BLOOD FROM 4 PEOPLE AND HIMSELF! Its EXTREMELY common for a perp whose stabbing people like this perp did, plus at least two had defensive wounds which means it was a struggle, to cut themselves with their own knife. Wasnt there two of them in one bed? Ethan and a girl so no way they both get killed without a struggle.
Way to go Blue…
Atleast they arrested someone….
At least in the U.S there is hope for justice but here in Mexico 🇲🇽 4 girls they were kidnapped on 25 december and parents are looking for them https://youtu.be/WocV5VKso98 hopes are very low here
Fake. Imagine if nobody got blamed
LMMFAOI! (edited) Youre killin me over here!
A homicide detective said one time that being a homicide detective is a calling, it’s not just something people do. This case proved that to be true, thank you police.
Oh stop it, youre giving me a toothache! Alcoholics have a calling too, its something people do! WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIRRRRRRRRDOOO!
@Key Peng These things take time. That is if you want to maintain the integrity of the investigation and any evidence discovered not be thrown out by a judge. This isn’t TV where investigations and convictions happen within a single half hour time slot.
@Key Peng are you kidding me?
@TXnine7nine people on YouTube think they know better than law enforcement and a lot are anti law enforcement. There’s no convincing the ignorant of what goes into a murder investigation and how long it can take based on what they have to work with
@Kelly Welsch next time your boss gives you an assignment at work, tell them it will take 2 months. see how long you last.
only people who can’t cut it in the private sector end up in government.
Innocent until Proven Guilty. If this 😈 is found Guilty. Death Penality 💀☠️
Unconscious person??? Whaaaa ??
Likely a panicked caller, afraid to leave her room.
That was very odd. You can’t stab someone to death without a pool of blood. As well as the stench of the released bowels.
I knew it would take the FB I to find this animal , local small town cops are not up to this kind of crime .
Joint effort. Team work. Use your brain.
@Neil Lynch the keystone cops could find their $$ with two hands
@Neil Lynch Use you brain , if not for the FEDS this case would never be solved ,
@Neil Lynch its a pro team vs a high school Jr varsity
My Condolences 🌺 to the family,s . Deeply a Tragedy 😔
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Modern TED BUNDY and from WASHINGTON state too .
He is so emotional.
Bless him
He, and many others, put their hearts and souls into it.
Yea, but hes not comfortable LIVE on TV, as a lot of people, myself included, are nervous speaking to a crowd, this dude is speaking to MILLIONS, WORLD-WIDE!
All these internet detectives didn’t see it coming , yall acting ya know better than the police lmao ! 🤡
Yesterday they were still trying to pin it on a professor based on the word of a Tarot Card Reader.
Now today, they all knew the police would solve it.
Glad they caught this Mfer. Hope he gets his wig split by the prisoners. I feel so bad for the parents and family.
Congratulations on the arrest!
Not surprised… Usual Suspect.
I know where the usual other suspects commit boat loads more crimes yet only making up 6% of the population, I win!
I like to thank the tippers who sent us 19,000 useless tips. Didn’t even thank the FBI who solved the case for them with their expertise or at least provided tools, intel and road to arrest.
What _are_ you on about? Tips / leads are/were needed. Has the case been solved? That’s a little premature, don’t you think?
Yes he did
Awesome!
Reminder to everyone that being arrested does not equal guilt. This dude hasn’t been put on trial yet and has not been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of his peers. I see a lot of people making assumptions about this man simply because he was arrested and that is absolutely disgusting.
What assumption is disgusting when his DNA was found at the murder scene?
@Faux Que Innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his peers. End of story. Police/alphabet soup agencies are corrupt and untrustworthy amd we can’t just assume their “evidence” is valid. Unless you want to live in even more of a totalitarian police state than we already live in. Do you want to live in a totalitarian police state? If so, you may enjoy relocating to China or North Korea.
IMO disgusting is better applied to what was done to the victims. Inappropriate is a better fit for accusing until proven guilty. I’m sure it’s people feeling angry at the possible offender. However you are correct that innocent until proven guilty.
He’ll get his day in court, fairly. Much more than he gave those kids. If the DNA matches,Idaho had a death penalty SNSD I hope they use it.
@Xrrris Mickey Why do you hate due process? Maybe you should relocate to China or North Korea?
Thank God now you internet slushes can find something else to talk about.
Like why would you do that to those babies..wtf is wrong with you? What did they do to you
Dude looks like Dennis Reynolds. Creepy af. Rip to the fallen 🖤
He murdered hope.
This punk deserves the death penalty – slow AND painful!
How unfortunate. If these people were stabbed on North Sentinel Island then many would claim that they deserved it.
Wait, Why? I know nothing about North Sentinel Island, please enlighten me
@VapnFaganI am sorry that you missed the story. A missionary named John Chau entered the banned island of North Sentinel. He was motivated by the story “End of the Spear””. Here is the link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkvEalVsaUY. After they accepted fish from him, they killed him.
Good job! Can’t bring them back : ( but at least this guy won’t be able to murder others. Thank you law enforcement for getting a bad guy off the streets.
Lol
Good job!
Now the question is will they tell the public the real truth of why he did commented such a heinius crime?
Nope that’s for the trial!
@F Cook why is that years ago I was arested by the FBI they told the entire story of what they believed happened down to details the next day in every newspaper in the United states
The police chief was under a lot of pressure I hope he gets to express his emotions let go of all the stress. This was not his fault or the towns.
Gee, I thought thats where all of the evidence pointed! I need to go over my notes again! Good lookin’ out Dogg! I absolutely LOVE banana bread, with lots of butter!
Braavo!LE!
Bring back public execution
It’s called maintaining the integrity of the investigation so as not to jeopardize any future prosecution. I can’t help but shake my head at those who felt it was their God given right to demand the release of all the information gathered during the investigation as soon as it was discovered. Almost as if they were watching a police procedural show on TV.
Um, they dont even do that on TV, well, maybe in Mayberry!
I totally agree.
He looks like a stalker. I wouldn’t doubt he felt rejected by the girls and this was payback. I don’t believe it was random.
Correct me if I am wrong, I thought it was a 3rd story apartment? If 2 of the victims were on the 2nd floor, and 2 were on the 3rd floor, where were the remaining 2 roommates who lived staying?? Obviously the killer would’ve seen 2 people living on the 1st floor…. this isn’t adding up
The first floor is at ground level in the front, but the second floor is at an elevated ground level from the rear. So he enters from the rear & thus “starts” on the 2nd floor…if you Google “Idaho king road house” there is an image from the backyard that will make this clear. The first floor is essentially like an “underground basement” to someone who enters from the rear of the house after dark.
Everything else is speculation. Either he kills Xana & Ethan first b/c he checks the 2nd floor bedrooms first, or he kills the presumed target (Kaylee) & her roommate on the 3rd floor first, & is then forced to deal with Xana & Ethan (even though he may not have wanted to) in order to exit the same place he entered.
Neither of these scenarios would need to involve the 1st floor at all.
Someone has ADD
YOURE WRONG!
Wr stood with you Chief Fry and your department 100%. I saw an arrest in your face yesterday. Thank you MPD.
Well tell us if convicted does he receive the death penalty or does he get rewarded with three meals and a cot health insurance
Wet the sponges, and throw the switch.
No, dont wet the sponge!
That’s an evil dude
I’ve been following this case closely from Arizona. So glad you made this happen. So many people to thank.
Just imagine if the media portrayed Yt people as they really are, cold blooded murderers.
Different types of people killed in different ways… Some prefer to a quiet, Storybook murder, While others drive around with guns shooting up there own people and others like to use tanks, drones and machine guns. Whats your point?
How hard are you Americans trying to libel me?
This officer looks like Gordon Ryan.
I’m sorry but why is this a big deal, I’m sure the south side of Chicago has identical scenarios except with resources attained from said victims
@ch hansen I’ll say as i please and you’ll do nothing I made sure of it
@AK Awww! Typical lefty, tattletale!
@AK <<<<
@ch hansen what’s with this lefty stuff you’re the lefty and a coward
@ch hansen I feel sorry for jokers like you 🤷🏾♂️
I saw “Moscow” somewhere in the mix and that got me so confused
Amen 🙏
Law Enforcement did a great job getting this monster off the street…Prayers for all the families …The young adults that died by this monster R.I.P. God got you in his loving arms….
So glad he was captured now justice system of Idaho do your thing.
It kind looks like the LOCAL DRUG DEALEr.. Kind of OLD but not to OLD and older than normal college Kids.
didnt Witness say that they house there were constant parties till middle of night
not on weekend but during the WEEK,,,and also the weekend…
Probably was OWE TON OF MONEY.. and other people also wanted their Money…
and dont worry the Parents of each DEAD COLLEGE KID is going to get a few millon DOLLAR CHECK.EACH..
One millon dollar check comes from the SCHOOL and other comes from MOSCOW Police since it was 8 hours later they found the Bodies..
and will be QUICK TRIAL an convicted before SUPERBOWL.. and case close and might never know what really happend..
I can hear a certain famous Twisted Sister song playing as this guy walks in the Courtroom. Care to guess which one? 🙃
Were not going to take it, oh were not going to take it, anymoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
@ch hansen I thought of that one too.
@Charles Phillips I was just playin’, cuz Im sure that isnt the song, but its the first one that came to mind!
good work
god man why?
They say he was a quiet person, and if you know the pathology of most serial killers, they’re often described as awkward, weird and introverted. I’ve always said that shy/quiet people are the ones you need to be worried about. They may not say much but they’re always observing and thinking. His soulless eyes says it all. I’m so relieved he’s caught.
This isn’t true at all 😂
THEY USED HIS CELL PHONE SIGNAL IT WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AS WAS HIS CAR IN THE VIDEO . THE MOVEMENT OF HIS PHONE SIGNAL AND CAR MATCHED UP AT THE TIME AND HIS ID WAS LINKED TO THE PHONE
Maybe, but they have to have had a warrant, and the first warrant issued was the day they got him. Its DNA from hair and blood! Dude cut himself with his knife, which is very common in THIS type of crime, 4 people stabbed multiple times, there was 100% a struggle as Ethan and one of the girls were in the same bed. One or two victims might have scratched the perp, pulled his hair, or punched the perp. This was a BLOODY scene, and the perp was COVERED in blood. Its been reported that at least two had defensive wounds which are cuts up and down the arms and hands. Now theyll see his cell tower locations, computer activity in SM, etc…
NBC can rejoice! It’s a Cisgender white male!
Everyone grab your pitchforks!
😂
Usual suspect they all look alike. Only in Amerikkka for yt to try and paint the suspect as a good guy with his education. Smh
Wanna know where there are more usual other suspects who commit boat loads more crimes, yet only making up 6% of the population? The democrat party created the KKK, so stop voting for them!
…a true thug.
@Marie Marie allegedly
The police did a good job of not leaking that the FBI was tracking this guy the entire time. They said the FBI wasn’t involved as they had no suspect and no reason for the FBI to be involved, when they knew the murderer fled the state.
Lets have a press Conference and tell you absolutely nothing!! lmao, Once again just here to be on TV and thank our police agencys!!
No one has brought fourth any evidence on the murder suspect ! Just claiming he did it ! Stupid !
My condolences to the families from Spain (Madrid), very sorry and sad for the death of these friends. Congratulations to the police to catch the probably guilty
The killer doesnt even look worried. Hes like another Ted Bundy from Washington. Probably stalked the women on Tik Tok.
GO TO YOUTUBE TYPE IN THE UPPER SEARCH AREA A FASTER WAY TO FIND A SERIAL KILLER AND MISSING CHILDREN WITH THIS CAMERA SYSTEM IN ALL COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA. WE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE POLICE. WE ARE CREATING A GEOGRAPHICAL SEARCH PROFILE WITH HOME AND BUSINESS SURVIELLANCE CAMERAS. IT WILL BE MORE SUPERIOR THAN THE SATELLITE IMAGERY FROM UP ABOVE. IF A CRIME HAPPENS. BECAUSE OF OUR NEIGHBORS CAMERAS. WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR SEARCH NORTH WEST EAST SOUTH WITH OVER A 30 MILE RADIUS. WE CAN NOW BACKTRACK THE WHEREABOUTS OF ALL TYPES OF CRIMINALS. THE STOCKTON CA SERIAL KILLER WAS CAPTURED WITH THIS METHOD AND THIS ONE TOO. THE CRIMINALS ARE AWARE OF FORENSIC SCIENCE WE ALL CAN DISCOVER INNOVATIVE IDEAS TO MAKE THIS IDEA PERFECT.
Fry is a genius. He made this guy feel safe and unseen. He convinced everyone he didn’t know who committed this horrible crime. He might not
Have KNOWN but he KNEW. He knew since the Elantra. He even tried to tell people when they were wrong. Telling people who’s cleared. Everyone was so worried about the jacks and adams and railroaded them. I get it. I had to be someone close to them cause this kind of evil can’t be just running around but it is. He staged the house cleaning and thanked everyone. Making it clear that it was over and done. So Bryan was even more comfy sitting in PA. Little did he know that Fry was on his heels.
Since day 1 of the investigation of this horrible nightmare. Mr. Jim Fry of the Moscow Police Department has held his head high with the professional mannerisms and a smile. Even though it’s not a time to smile. The amount of stress pressure along with the emotional sadness Jim Fry remained calm Collective and positive. Thank You Jim Fry and everyone who worked so hard to apprehend the monster who committed such a horrible crime
This guy annoys me. Yeah, your department cracked the case but don’t look so happy about it all the time. Four people are dead.
Hope he got all his answers for his creepy questionnaire. A-hole… enjoy life in prison
